Beautiful



I breathe in the day, for I have no choice

I give you a small smile, I have no voice

I fold my hands together, it conceals a lie

the lie I'll hold on tightly to for life.



I exhale yesterday, it relieves my strain

I reach up mindlessly as the sun decays

Withering away from my sight is happiness

that will selfishly never remain.



I bleed away the care, it's beautiful to watch

Maybe if I lie here long enough, time will stop

Cynically, I laugh through the dark of night

and listen as it echoes back a strange lullaby.
